I'll bet that the suicide rate amongst your friends is much higher the Army.

Evidently there are plenty of people who go well nuts without ever entering the military.

Besides the Attention Whores who threaten suicide to make us feel pity for them, these suicide people who are doing it for real be they military, non-military, etc, etc, aren't they damaged goods already? Are we losing much by them offing themselves?

If you want the least chance of seeing your son come back from whatever
you choose for him, send him to the military, or into commercial fishing off the cost of Main.

And if he does make it back from his military duty
hopefully he will not be as arrogant and pridefull as many become.

The military is not the US military anymore.
It is military.inc

The fine tradition of the military has been stained by opressive corporate culture.

The culture of working for a living has been undermined by a class of ne-er do well's living off the dole, blaming the world for their behavior.
